Universal water purifier unit assembly device

Abstract

A universal water purifier unitary assembly device comprising a device housing unit support structure, a manually operated air pump, a force-fed water filter cartridge of multiple separable stages and a separable sealing means to seal the junction and opening between said universal water purifier unitary assembly device housing unit support structure and water container of water to be filtered wherein junction and opening between of said water purifier unitary assembly device housing unit support structure and said water container is sealed to retain compressed air. Water of said container is filtered, treated and used as needed on demand as in a group environment wherein individual use and consumption of purified water is relevant. The water is stored in a container, being pumped from the container by compressed air provided by an air pump. Filter elements include sediment and cyst removal filters, ion exchange resins, semi-permeable membranes including a hollow fiber membrane, porous activated carbon particles and activated carbon blocks. The device housing unit support structure unifies the functional elements of the invention as an operational unit of easy transport for use with any water container of a suitably sized mouth.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]This invention relates to a universal water purifier unit assembly device as an integrated assembly functioning as an operational unit of easy transport to be positioned for use with any container of water to be treated and filtered. In particular, this invention relates to a water treating and filtration device comprising a unit housing structure, an in-place manually-operated bellows air pump and a structural filter cartridge assembly comprising a multistage filter system. The unit mounted bellows air pump provides compressed air to cause the untreated water to be forced through the structural filter cartridge. The filter cartridge comprises novel structural components which, alternatively, can be surface treated to increase water flow rate. A means is provided for sealing the water purifier assembly device to a water container of any size and shape to retain compressed air within the constructed system of the water purifier assembly device and the wate...

Problems solved by technology

The presence of unwanted and potentially harmful contaminants in drinking water are a cause for health concern.

Some of these water treatment devices and methods utilize treatment materials, which, of their own nature, can be distasteful to consumers of the treated water.

For example, municipal water treatment facilities use chlorine as an active agent to remove bacterial contaminants but the odor and taste of the treated water can be offensive to the consumers.

It is known to use activated carbon to treat water to remove the offensive odor and taste of chlorine-treated water but flow rate of water through the activated carbon can be hampered.

In addition to chemical and particulate contaminants, several types of harmful contaminants in drinking water are a cause for health concern.

Even municipal water treatment fails to adequately remove all of the hazardous contaminates.

It is known that excess chlorine normally us
